Chapter 53 Ignis Sanctum
Chapter 53 Ignis Sanctum
It was something Veer had come up with while practicing the Primordial Arcane Forge. The Mana Circulation Technique gave him benefits because his body endured torture.
So, what if one of the major aspects of advancing in the Warrior path was to push the physical body past its limits again and again?
It was common knowledge, actually, but he understood it better after experiencing it.
Because of this realization, he came up with a method that would help his subordinates rapidly, but they would have to endure torture.
But the gains would be worth it!
As someone who practiced the Primordial Arcane Forge, there was no way he could demonstrate the method he had thought of. He might as well directly commit suicide.
So, he asked the most talented person he knew in the Warrior path: Elara. She was a monster from birth and was behind others for one simple reason—she had wasted too much time with Veer.
But that didn't reduce her potential at all.
If anyone can succeed on the first try, it's her, Veer winked at her and gestured for her to do the task.
Elara, who was just as surprised as anyone else, gave a side glance at Veer and nodded. She didn't show it, but she was also excited to try this new method.
She knew people could practice Mana Circulation Techniques even while fighting, but that was after they reached higher stages.
Nobody really tried it in the early stages.
Just one way to find out, Elara took a deep breath and closed her eyes, feeling her mana coursing through her Mana Veins, undisturbed and ever-flowing.
Her Mana Circulation Technique was different from others, as it had been given to her by the Sword Saint Michael himself. It was a technique he practiced and passed on to his daughter.
It was an A-Rank Mana Circulation Technique named Ignis Sanctum. Unlike others, she needed to disperse her mana into her body slowly while circulating it through her Mana Veins.
The technique deserved its rank, as the moment Elara activated her Mana Circulation Technique, a searing pain shot through her muscles, as if someone had poured boiling lava over her body.
This was her technique, which made her stronger using the high temperatures of the flames. As her muscles burned in her mana, she opened her eyes.
She was still circulating her mana, and the pain was still there. She had just dedicated a part of her mind to not stop it under any circumstances.
Her presence changed, letting others know that she was performing her Mana Circulation Technique. It wasn't anything noteworthy, but it was definitely different than before and made her stand out.
Keeping her breathing stable, Elara turned around and tried to bend over. Unsurprisingly, even such a small gesture almost made her lose control of her mana while the pain increased even more.
No! I can handle this!
She was burning from the inside, but knowing that it was Veer who devised it, she wanted to achieve it. Gritting her teeth, she endured the burning and bent over completely.
Her hands barely reached forward to grasp a rock, which she proceeded to lift while still circulating her mana. Whenever she felt like she was going to lose control or faint from pain, a single thought cleared away her doubts and steeled her resolve.
V announced it before everyone. If I fail, he will lose face.
This was Elara Flamme—a simple-minded person who was too devoted to her partner and her loved ones. She didn't care about anything else.
So, just for them, she would do anything.
Everyone watched in shock as Elara picked up the rock and threw it aside, all while practicing her Mana Circulation Technique.
They couldn't believe it, but the proof was right before them. There was no denying it.
"Holy hell! Is she a monster or what?"
"Here, speak in this mic!"
"Freak! All of them are freaks!"
"Agreed!"
Everyone exclaimed as they whispered among themselves, still unable to come to terms with the situation. However, it made their blood boil as they finally saw a way to improve and get strong.
Veer let them talk for a while and went to check on Elara, who was panting heavily. Sweat dripped from her forehead like a stream of water.
"Oh, you're hot!" Veer smiled, looking at Elara. Literally!
"That I am," Elara also smiled and regulated her breathing back to normal. This wasn't her first time with the Mana Circulation Technique, but doing two tasks together certainly wasn't good so suddenly.
Veer didn't say much, and there was no need for it. They understood each other very well, and flowery words weren't necessary to convey their intentions.
He patted her back and turned towards the joint group of boys and girls. He clapped his hands, and the area turned silent once again.
"As you all know, Elara is the daughter of the Sword Saint, and because of that, her Mana Circulation Technique is far superior to yours," Veer said. "As a warrior, you should understand that the higher-rank Mana Circulation Techniques cause much more pain than lower ranks, right?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Good, then as you have seen, Elara actually demonstrated what I told you all while being in that torturous pain," Veer smiled. "So, I'm sure you all can do it too. Now, before I send you all away, do you have any questions?"
Rock was the first one to raise his hand, and upon getting Veer's approval, he asked, "Boss, I am a musclehead and don't understand its benefits clearly, so can you tell me those?"
You don't have to be so self-aware, Veer was speechless, but still answered him. "There are many benefits, actually, but it would really be a drag to explain all of those. But I'll tell you one that will motivate you to do it."
A smile formed on his lips as he said, "Think of it this way: you are practicing the Mana Circulation Technique while doing a strenuous task. Now, you can use the same situation in the battles you'll fight in the Selections, right?" Enjoy more content from empire
He didn't need to explain more as that single reason riled everyone up. They all cheered and proceeded to clean the Serene Lotus Park, leaving the Mages alone with the trio.
